Reykjavik Folk Festival

Reykjavík Folk Festival is held at Kex Hostel in March. There, folk musicians both young and old will join forces to create a three-day feast of folk music in the wonderful setting of Kex Hostel. Folk music has a long history in Iceland, from the rhyme songs of the old nordic sagas to the recent success stories of young folk-inspired artists like Of Monsters And Men, Ólöf Arnalds and Sóley. The idea behind Reykjavík Folk Festival is to celebrate the diversity and breadth of the Icelandic folk music scene by mixing together artists and bands of different ages and styles that all share a common dept to the wonderful world of folk music.
